  • Title: Cognitive and somatic state anxiety and self-confidence in cheerleading competition.
    Author: Finkenberg ME, DiNucci JN, McCune ED, McCune SL.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 1992 Dec; 75(3 Pt 1):835-9. PubMed ID: 1454483.
    Abstract:
    77 cheerleaders participating in a national collegiate championship competition were administered the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 immediately prior to performance. Significant correlations were found between cognitive and somatic state anxiety, a finding consistent with previous research. Negative correlations were found between both cognitive and somatic anxiety and self-confidence, also as previously reported. Canonical discriminant analysis indicated that significant discrimination between the teams could be accomplished by a combination of the state-anxiety variables. Both groups, 36 men and 41 women, differed significantly from normative scores on the somatic subscale.
